My father used to auger in 1/4, 30%, and 40% scale models fairly regularly (mostly Extras, Sukhois, and the like). I remember having to dig out a Sachs-Dolmar out of the ground. Was buried up to the firewall. I finally asked him WTF he thought he was doing with my inheritance.
Now he just buys Buick Nailheads. (insert facepalm smiley here)
